Toroidal families and averages of L-functions, I

Number Theory 2024-05-27 v3

Abstract

We initiate the study of certain families of LL-functions attached to characters of subgroups of higher-rank tori, and of their average at the central point. In particular, we evaluate the average of the values L(\demi,χa)L(\demi,χb)L(\demi,\chi^a)L(\demi,\chi^b) for arbitrary integers~aa and~bb when χ\chi varies over Dirichlet characters to a prime modulus.
